More than 200 children were raped in Sudan since the beginning of 2024, UN children’s agency says

Armed forces in Sudan are committing systematic sexual violence against children, with UNICEF reporting at least 221 cases of child rape since the beginning of 2024, including four one-year-olds as survivors.
The report states that 66% of rape survivors are girls and 33% are boys, indicating a serious issue of sexual violence against minors.
UNICEF highlighted that many cases go unreported due to cultural stigmas and fear of retribution, making the recorded numbers just a fraction of the actual incidents.
Catherine Russell, UNICEF's executive director, said the testimonies of survivors should 'shock anyone to their core and compel immediate action.
